Recently, with the widespread use of new imaging techniques, the diagnosis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is increasing. To analyze the extrarenal manifestations of ADPKD in Korean patients, we retrospectively studied the clinical characteristics of 30 patients with ADPKD. Thirty Patients with ADPKD who had been diagnosed at Yongdong Severance Hospital from 1988 through 1994 were recruited for this study. All patients' past and family histories were re-evaluated, and charts and radiologic images were reviewed retrospectively. The male to female ratio was 9:21, and the age of initial diagnosis was 39.2 +/- 13.8 (mean +/- SD) years. In 15 cases (50%), ADPKD had been diagnosed by renal symptoms; in 8 cases (26.7%), by chance during evaluation of extrarenal diseases; in 5 cases (16.7%), by family screening; and in 2 cases (6.7%), by uremic symptoms. Extrarenal involvement included hepatic cysts (70%), pancreatic cysts (16.7%), splenic cysts (6.7%), thyroid cysts (6.7%), inguinal hernia (3.3%), and colonic diverticula (3.3%). In 5 cases (16.7%), cardiac valvular abnormalities were noted by echocardiography. Seven patients underwent hemodialysis, and the duration from the initial diagnosis to initiation of dialysis was 9.9 +/- 8.5 (mean +/- SD) years. We investigated the extrarenal manifestations of 30 cases of ADPKD in Koreans, which were also common and clinically important as renal manifestations. Renal cysts are only one of a myriad of renal and extrarenal manifestations of ADPKD. ADPKD should be managed systematically since this disorder is a systemic disease with clinically important involvement of the cardiovascular system, the gastrointestinal tract, the genitourinary system, and the musculoskeletal system.
